Checking in from Maine

Howdy everyone,
Just dropping in to say hello from Maine. Actually, Maine via Tampa FL, for the next 9 Days.

Been lurking around for a while, reading up on what you folks have been posting. Lots of great info here. Signed up for a CCW class at the beginning of next month, so I've been doing my homework in preparation for that.

My concealed package will consist of a 3rd gen Glock 23, leaning toward Gold Dots for ammo, tucked away in a Comptac CTAC holster, hung on a Wilderness Instructors 5 stitch belt. Everything except the belt has been purchased...waiting on the holster to show up, so I can get a good measurement before ordering from Wilderness.

Anyway, thanks for the great forum, and tons of knowledge. It's a pleasure reading it.

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I forgot to explain what my screen name means. I'm part of a Sportbike Freestyle team, so my 'real' hobby is throwing my streetbike at the ground. Heres a couple pics of how I spend most of my weekends:

Since we live in Maine, can't let a little cold weather stop us. We plow the lakes instead!

Shooting is my newest hobby, and it's alot easier on the body. Equally addicting though, thats for sure. I went from 0 firearms, to 8, and reloading two different calibers since the beginning of the year!
